Re: [cobalt-developers] Java Dev Kit / Tomcat - "reinstall" required

[Timothy Stonis <timothy.stonis@xxxxxxx>]

 Try starting up tomcat manually (as root) with:

 /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat.init start

 ...and send on the output. If it isn't starting, there must be an error
somewhere. 

  To reinstall, first follow the directions for disabling Tomcat, then put
the .pkg file in temp directory, untar to file with:

  tar -xzvf [JDK].pkg

  cd to the RPMS directory, and manually reinstall the rpms with:

  rpm -U --force [RPM name]
